in 'Worse Than Watergate' John Dean said W deficits would cut Social Services

there are 28 1-star reviews, haha-but get this & I quote 1 of them ..."ii. Bush overspending means that there will simply be "no money available to pay for social programs after this Administration" (p xvi). I'll put my response as tactfully as I can. Any moron can make an outrageous claim about the cause of an event occurring in the past (e.g., Bush invaded Iraq to help Halliburton) and it's hard to definitively refute. However, when a person makes a claim about the cause of a future event, well then, all you have to do is wait and see whether that person was correct, or a moron. Something tells me that Jimmy Dean will be proven to be a moron when, on January 20, 2009, social programs still exist in America.".....

gee, isn't there a fight gearing up over W's deficits & there's even talks of butchering SocSec, foodstamps, Veteran's Benefits, etc. Link to 1-star reviews below

I have not read Worse Than Watergate but I have a copy of Conservatives Without Conscience. Make no mistake. John Dean, although conservative, is no Republican.

I met him in California during his book tour for CWC. His presentation was a passionate plea for a return to sanity in politics and a description of how Republican policy is taking this country off the rails.

CWC is a good book, probing the psychology that we're fighting. Knowledge of the research Dean cites should be required for all Dem candidates and campaign operatives.

I have nothing but admiration for John Dean. He's very smart and is not afraid to say unpopular things.
